Zero size word picture objects

J

Jay

Hi,

I'm intermittently getting the size of word pictures coming out as zero.
(word xp running on windows xp prof).

I'm doing insert object->word picture, drawing some rectangles etc. and
closing the picture. The picture 'appears' not to be in the document at all
but after a lot of searching I tracked it down to a 0.03 cm x 0.03 cm dot on
the screen. I can open it again and it's there ok. I can bring up the object
format properties and change the size but it only increases the bounding box
to approx 2cm square max and there are no contents visible in the main doc.

I'm having to create new pictures by copying existing picture objects and
editing them. This works ok most of the time but occasionally, the picture
displayed in the doc is not updated when I close the picture object so I
have to open the picture, do a bit of editing, close the picture and check
if it's in the main doc.

The frequency of these problems seems to increase the longer the time since
the last reboot of the machine. Reminds me of the symptoms when win 3.1 apps
used to forget to release gdi resources.

Any ideas on these problems?

Thanks,

Jay.
